Brand new Feisty install (fresh this morning, with all updates applied).

Two users: Me, my daughter. I create my account during the install process, add hers afterwards; she does not have admin privileges, has all other privileges (including plugdev membership).

Login to GDM as me, plug in Kodak C533: Import dialog appears.

Login to GDM as her, plug in Kodak C533: Nothing. Nada.

Logged in as her, run gnome-volume-manager-gthumb from command line without arguments. Receive following messages, but am able to import photos

I've tried adding the ENV{} line to udev rules added immediately before device specific rules, after gotos); tried setting the device specific permission to 0666, tried giving her admin privileges, nothing works. By "nothing works" I mean that the import dialog only appears for me and not for her.

I've also verified /etc/passwd* and /etc/group* and everything looks good (plugdev membership, etc.). But only my account, the first user account (uid 1000) has success, her account (uid 1001) gets no dialogs and the command line error above).

If this is another bug, let me know, I'll add this report to that bug.
